In this study, the effects and the interactions of water content, SP-binder ratio, and water-binder ratio on the workability performance of concrete were investigated. The experiments were designed based on flatted simplex-centroid experiment design modified from standard simplex-centroid one. The data gotten from the design was used to build the concrete slump model using neural networks. Research reported in this paper shows that a small number of slump experiments can be performed and meaningful data obtained with the experiment design. Such data would be suitable for building slump model using neural networks. The trained network can be satisfactorily used for exploring the effects of the components and their interactions on the workability of concrete. It has found that a high water content and a high SP/b ratio is essential for high workability, but achieving this by increasing these parameters will not in itself guarantee high workability. The w/b played a very important role in producing workability and had rather profound effects; however, the medium value about 0.4 is the best w/b to reach high slump without too much effort on trying to find the appropriate water content and SP/b.

본 연구에서는 중유동 콘크리트 제조를 위해 기존의 재료분리 판정법과 레올로지 정수를 활용하여 콘크리트 재료분리 상황을 정의하고자 하였다. 중유동 콘크리트는 일반강도 범위의 비교적 높은 물시멘트비 조건에서 높은 유동성을 발현하는 조건으로 고성능 감수제를 사용하면서 재료분리를 제어하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 이에 본 연구조건에서는 고형분량이 다른 두 가지 고성능 감수제를 사용하여 일반강도 콘크리트 배합의 유동성을 증진시키면서 재료분리가 발생하기 시작하는 범위의 유동특성과 레올로지 정수의 변화에 대해 관찰하였다. 기존의 레올로지를 이용한 유동성 측정연구는 고유동성을 확보한 조건에서 측정되어야 했기 때문에 재료분리가 발생하는 조건은 측정의 대상에서 제외되었던 경우가 많았다. 본 연구에서는 재료분리가 발생하기 시작하는 상태의 콘크리트 배합조건에서 기존의 재료분리 판정법이나 관찰에 의한 방법으로는 아직 재료분리에 이르르지 않았다고 판단되더라도 레올로지 측정 정수인 소성점도와 정적 항복응력 측정값에서 이상측정값이 관찰되는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과가 콘크리트에 있어서 재료분리가 발생하는 조건을 레올로지적으로 정의할 수 있는 기초적인 자료를 제공할 것으로 판단한다.

Recently, with the increasing demand of high performance of concrete, the mix design of concrete mixture has became low water-to-binder ratio with high binder content. To compensate these trend of mix design, high range water reducer, or superplascizier has been invented to achieve high flowable concrete. Although this superplasticizer provides favorable workability based on its dispersing action on the components of concrete mixture, it has an limitation of decreasing viscosity of the mixture, and thus it is difficult to secure sufficient workability for high performance concrete mixtures with high binder content. To improve the workability of concrete with high viscosity, recently, low-viscosity type superplasticizer was introduced, and in this research, a fundamental properties of low-viscosity type superplasticizer is evaluated.

본 논문에서는 고성능 감수제, 증점제, 광물질 혼화재 및 강섬유의 양과 종류가 고강도 섬유보강 시멘트 복합체의 워커빌리티에 미치는 영향을 실험적으로 검토하였다. 그 결과, 고강도 강섬유 보강 시멘트 복합체의 워커빌리티는 고성능 감수제, 증점제 및 광물질 혼화재를 적절히 사용함으로써 향상된다. 그리고 강섬유의 형상계수가 작을수록 섬유보강 시멘트 복합체의 워커빌리티가 향상되었으며, 또한 워커빌리티가 향상된 강섬유 보강 시멘트 복합체의 압축강도와 휨강도는 향상되는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this experimental study is to improve the workability and durability in high sulphated cement concrete with fly-ash. As a results, we can make high strength concrete by using only high sulphated cement but try to improve the workability and degree of strength by adding 10% fly-ash but the effect beyond my expectation to improve the workability and degree of strength does not show, and the improvable effect except the drying shrinkage of durability dose not show, either. So we must give attention to using fly-ash.

The effects of fly ash and superplasticizer (SP) on workability of concrete are quite difficult to predict because they are dependent on other concrete ingredients. Because of high complexity of the relations between workability and concrete compositions, conventional regression analysis could be not sufficient to build an accurate model. In this study, a workability model has been built using artificial neural networks (ANN). In this model, the workability is a function of the content of all concrete ingredients, including cement, fly ash, blast furnace slag, water, superplasticizer, coarse aggregate, and fine aggregate. The effects of water/binder ratio (w/b), fly ash-binder ratio (fa/b), superplasticizer-binder ratio (SP/b), and water content on slump were explored by the trained ANN. This study led to the following conclusions: (1) ANN can build a more accurate workability model than polynomial regression. (2) Although the water content and SP/b were kept constant, a change in w/b and fa/b had a distinct effect on the workability properties. (3) An increasing content of fly ash decreased the workability, while raised the slump upper limit that can be obtained.

Fly Ash in concrete is known to be effective in improving workability, the reduction of heat of hydration, increasing the long-term compressive strength, and improving durability. Recently, fly ash is consedered an essential material for the high-strength concrete. In this paper, investigations for the strength and workability characteristics was carried out when fly ash was used in the high-strength concrete. As the result, fly ash was effective in increasing the long-term compressive strength, but the short-term compressive strength was gradually decreased with increating fly ash contents. And also the use of superplasticzers was required for providing the proper workability when fly ash contents were increased. The optimum content of fly ash was about 10%.

This is a part a study on the development of High-Performance Concrete ; about experimental results from several test methods to estimate workability in fresh concrete and influences of concrete mix design that affects properties of super-flowing concrete. Super-flowing concrete can be filled in a formwork without any vibration because of its excellent workability of passing narrow space and filling complicated shaped mold, new test methods should be used to estimate the workability and rhelogy in super-flowing concrete instead of slump test method in conventional concrete.

High flowable concrete was first developed in 1988 to achieve durable concrete structures. High flowable concrete can improve workability sharply reason why the concrete has properties of resistance to segregation, filling ability, passing ability without compacting. Therefore, as we apply a high flowable concrete to a large dimensional tunnel which constructed in special environment, we can get workability, strength and durability required. Tunnel lining concrete with a large dimension has to use necessarily fly ash and slag for the properties of high flowability and watertight. We can expect improvement of workability and durability, mitigation of hydration, reducing shrinkage, enhancement of watertight by using cementitious materials. This paper proposes investigations for establishing a mix-design method and high flowability-strength testing methods have been carried out from the viewpoint of making a standard concrete tunnel lining with large dimension a standard.
